Your family schedule is a statement about what matters most in your life. God has given us a tremendous gift in time – and everyone uses it for the things they believe to be the most important. Kevin Swanson, Todd Strawser, and Danny Craig talk about how to evaluate your schedule, and what it says about your goals, your objectives, and your reason for living.

Sunday morning shouldn't feel like survival.

Your phone might be the biggest discipleship battle in your home - and you don't even realize it.

Discipleship for Dads with Kevin, Todd, Bill and Daniel ·

2026/08/28

Some homes raise kids under a list of man-made rules — others let anything go. Both are a form of rebellion against God. The dads discuss how fathers can set biblical standards for movies, music, and modesty in the home without sliding into either ditch, and why the motive behind a standard matters as much as the standard itself.

Discipleship for Dads with Kevin, Todd, Bill and Daniel ·

2026/08/14

Avoiding the Ditches of White Knight & Overbearing...

Discipleship for Dads with Kevin, Todd, Bill and Daniel ·

2026/07/31

Many men compulsively side with women, whether they’re right or wrong. But we should be more jealous for God’s honor than women’s, and more fearful of what He thinks. The dads talk about the white knight mentality, and ask: don’t women deserve special honor? How biblical is “happy wife, happy life?” Can you really keep the peace without obedience to the gospel of peace? And what should you do if there’s a tug-of-war for control in your marriage?

Discipleship for Dads with Kevin, Todd, Bill and Daniel ·

2026/07/10

Comparison parenting is everywhere — in the pew, the homeschool co-op, and your own head. The dads dig into why we compare spouses, children, and churches…how comparison reveals that we doubt the sufficiency of God's grace…the danger of setting expectations your family can't meet…and how to point your wife and children to the acceptance they already have in Christ. 2026 Shepherds Conference - Men Wanted for Battle More info here.
